Greptile Summary

Replaces the archived ms-iot.vscode-ros extension with its maintained successor Ranch-Hand-Robotics.rde-pack in VSCode recommendations.

• Updated main .vscode/extensions.json to use Ranch-Hand-Robotics.rde-pack instead of ms-iot.vscode-ros
• Updated template configuration at tools/template/templates/external/.vscode/extensions.json to match
• Added contributor name to CONTRIBUTORS.md

The old ms-iot.vscode-ros extension has been archived and is no longer maintained. The new Ranch-Hand-Robotics.rde-pack extension is the actively maintained successor that provides ROS 2 development support. This change ensures developers using VSCode will be recommended a supported extension for working with ROS-related files (URDF, launch files) in the IsaacLab codebase.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• The changes are straightforward and low-risk: replacing an archived VSCode extension recommendation with its maintained successor. Both extension recommendation files were consistently updated, and the contributor was properly added to CONTRIBUTORS.md. No code logic or functionality is affected - only developer tooling recommendations.
• No files require special attention
